Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

What does it take to top our “Clips of the Month” list? Well, depends on the month. Wave quality helps. A more technical maneuver or difficult line certainly ups your chances. We can all appreciate a good, kegging barrel. But sometimes the thing that puts a clip over the edge is a little harder to define. Sometimes the winner is simply the clip that causes our jaws to drop and our minds to wonder, “What. The. Actual. F@#$.”

This was one such month. While it was filled with WTF rides, from Tom Lowe’s Euro tunnel to Koa Smith’s below-sea-level screamer, but none was more baffling than the apartment-building-sized tube yawning behind an ant-sized Kai Lenny at Nazare. Press play and let us know if you beg to differ, and watch the full edits that these clips were pulled from below:

Justine Dupont may have broken the Guinness World Record for the biggest wave ever surfed by a female athlete.

On November 13, 2019, the 28-year-old French big wave surfer dropped into a massive wall of water that is estimated to measure between 65 and 68 feet.

“I’m so stoked I made it. It’s a mad, intense wave. It was the greatest ride of my life,” expressed Dupont.

Justine won the 2019 Women’s XXL Performance of the Year Award and Biggest Wave Award, and the 2018 European longboard title.

The surfer from Bordeaux has also been elected Chair of the ISA Athletes’ Commission for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Maya Gabeira holds the current Guinness World Record for the largest wave ever surfed by a female athlete.

On January 18, 2018, the Brazilian daredevil rode a 68-foot (20.72 meters) wave, also in Nazaré, Portugal.
